I have serious baby fever! All I think about it having a child. I am very maternal and I can't stop thinking about have a little prince or princess.
Before I got married I wanted to wait at least 3 years before we started trying but that has all changed. I guess I justlove my husband so much and our life that I would love to bring a little bundle of joy into this world. We are both were maternal/paternal and have always wanted to have kids since a young age. We bought the worst house on the best street and did a full remodel so we could hace kids in a safe neighborhood where they are able to ride their bikes on the street.
Everyone usually says to adopt a puppy, but I already have 2 and started debaing adopting another one because I love them so much and they bring so much joy to my life but I know 3 dogs can be alot when we actually do have a baby.
We are only 24 and 26 and have a lifetime ahead of us. We just bought a house and both have good jobs but I want to be a SAHM so I need to wait a couple of years for my DH's company to continue growing before we can afford to lose my salary.
Anyone else's ideas change after they got married?
I know I should enjoy our time together now and one we have a baby everything is changed forever, but I can't held wanting to hold someone who is made up of the two of us in our arms.
OMG yes. I have major baby fever...every time I see one I just want to give it a squeeze. And I've had soo many dreams about being pregnant lately!
However, I know that it's not the right time for us...we're in a 4th floor walkup, 1 bedroom apartment, and I don't fancy carrying a stroller up and down the stairs. I also want to do more traveling before we have kids, and we have some weddings coming up in the next year that I don't want to be pregnant for. But it's WAY harder to wait than I thought it would be!
@Hilsy85- I dream about it too! I watch my cousins kids to see if that will help and it makes me want them even more! My DH and I even made a list of the places we want to go before kids and I was 100% all about traveling and now I'd rather have a baby than go to my dream places. When did this happen LOL?!
@roxy821: I know, it's like the second that ring was on my finger, my biological clock revved up, lol. I'm forcing myself to stay away from baby websites so I don't make it worse.
I'm not even married yet, but I have babies on the brain all the time! I don't think we will wait after marriage.
Also, my parents when they had us continued to travel constantly with us in tow and it wasn't really an issue :)
@plantains: Yeah I've heard it's not bad when they're little, since they sleep and eat most of the time...toddlers, on the other hand, are probably trickier lol.
@roxy821: Haha totally! BFA--Baby Fever Anonymous.
I totally want to start trying - I'm 29, so maybe the clock just started ticking :) He's in business school, so our plan is to start trying this summer and hopefully have a baby soon after he graduates. I know that waiting until the summer is the logical plan, because by the time we had the baby he would (most likely) have a good job.... but yeah I just want to get going! I get so freaked out that by the time we start trying we'll run into problems, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and then sitting on them :)
I am a NEARLYWED and I already have baby fever! Oh geez...My parents already have two grandkids so they aren't really waiting on a third but his parents (mother) love to talk about babies! It's almost more than I can stand!!! Plus I feel like everyone around my is having babies....
I was feeling it really bad a few months ago but the fire has cooled. My logic has won out that I don't think I want to stay in this area and I want a nice house before baby comes!
I've got it and I'm not married yet! I'm super maternal and have wanted to be soccer mom to 6 kids since I was super little. I've had to fight waves of baby fever every couple months since I was 18! I'm going through a stage now and it's especially hard because now I know that I'm getting married and I can play with baby names and know how they'll actually sound with his last name!
we're not married yet...but we both have baby fever :P
OMG yes! I was JUST telling my husband that it seems like everyone is pregnant! Every facebook announcement, every show I watch... The comment to my husband came while we were watching Dexter. DEXTER of all shows! A show about serial killers and even HIS girlfriend is pregnant lol.
I was planning on waiting 3 years before the wedding. But I was completely surprised when I felt the fever come on post-honeymoon. It was out of nowhere and I was definitely caught off guard by it.
Yeah, I have it pretty bad. UGH TWO YEARS until we're married! Oh well, I keep telling myself it'll be all the better and give a potential child the best life which is what is important.
*Puts hand up - MEEEEEE*
But my ideas changed in another way!
We were actually planning on TTC right after the wedding (we are 27 and have been together 7 years and have had a house for 3). I am a PhD candidate and it just seemed like the best timing during my PhD.
However, my funding dropped lower this year and so finances are really tight :-( So now we are postponing it for at least a year and we will discuss it again when we know what finances look like next year.
I am so bummed about this. It is so hard going from thinking it is going to happen soon and then having to put it off! I have had baby fever for years but now I am getting jealous of pregnant friends :-(
Bad life decisions UGH (the PhD I mean)!
My husband and I both have it. At some point we decided to wait until after Christmas to start TTC...but we've not been particularly careful since we got married on Oct 10th...withdrawal only. Neither of us can wait (especially him--he's 31, and has some idea that if we wait too long he'll be "Grandpadad". Not that I'm arguing with the end result of his train of thought...I want a baby as badly as he does.
I'm not engaged yet it probably won't happen for another two years but I have been having baby fever lately. My SO and I talked about when we wanted kids I orginally wanted to wait 4-5 yr now it's 2-4 next thing I know it'll be right after the wedding! My SO is six years older than me. I'm 23 and his 29 so I know he said he wants kids before or by the time he turns 34. He doesn't want to be an old dad. I don't get the whole old dad thing. At the rate I'm going he may very well get his wish. You can count me in for BFA.
My new husband has had it for almost three years (since his niece was born)!
I've had a mild case of the "fever" for quite some time before we were married, but DH was positive he wanted to wait 6, 7, 8, 12 years. As soon as we got married, this drastically changed. He saw this video of a little girl welcoming her daddy home from war (DH's an airman), and went little baby girl crazy! Total 180-before we got married, when we finally had kids, he really wanted a boy. (Of course, we'd both be happy with a healthy baby of either gender!)
We're both young and want to wait until we get more settled and have more time for just the two of us, but I don't know how long that'll last. And honestly, I feel like we're going to accidentally pregnant...so random, we're completely safe, I just have a feeling-anyone??
Hi, my name is hyphensmith and I have baby fever.
Our wedding is in February and we can't go on our honeymoon until after baseball season is over because my FH works for an MLB team. In fact, our entire wedding had to be planned around baseball season! Anyway, a bunch of our already married friends all had babies around the same time and my baby fever went into overdrive! We babysit, and I know that they cry and poop and all that, but I can't resist! I just want one of my very own! My FH wants us to have a honeymoon that is just us, but he has agreed to me 'pulling the goalie' next summer. I'm going to try not to be preggers on our honeymoon, but you never know...
My Husband and I BOTH have the baby fever. lol We have been together over 7 years and are so excited to have a baby. Not TTC yet but it will be soon. I'll keep you updated! 
guilty. and i've still got 52 days until i'm a newlywed!
if i'm honest, i've had it off and on for years, but this last two weeks has been BAD. we had decided to wait 6 months or so (didn't want to go from planning a wedding to planning a baby), but now I have to force myself to take the pill every morning!
every now and again i'll have a selfish moment (sickness, being coddled by my FI, whatever) where it dawns on me that i couldn't be so selfish if i had a baby.
Argh. guess we'll play it by ear.
How did I miss this thread!!!!
I have the bug really bad. Husband isn't took happy about it yet. My vote is to start trying next year after our first anniversary. He is 27 and I'm 25 so that would put us at having a first kid right before he's 30.
I am also REALLY scared and have a slight feeling that I will have difficulties conceiving. I really don't want to wait forever and then find out we have to go through 2 years of treatment or something.
I would love to have a good chunk of change saved up before we seriously start TTC.
I'm not even a newlywed yet and I have baby fever. HARD! I almost can't wait until the wedding to have another baby (we have a 2 year old already). But then I have to remember by the time June comes around, I'd be a blimp and if I remember correctly from my last pregnancy, it's just not a fun feeling.
Terrible baby fever hits every other month or so, and we aren't even engaged! We have names picked out, I'll breast feed, we've decided one of us will stay at home and homeschool until high-school...
I'm taking my 10 month old god-daughter to a Halloween party this weekend. I fully expect baby fever to be kicked into overdrive hahaha.
@plantains: Yes, Halloween really kicks in baby fever. Check out the Target.com baby costumes. SO CUTE!
We spend lots of time with my 7 nieces and nephews. It used to be great at pushing off the baby fever but now it just makes it worse.
My husband and I do! It's kind of cute...we will be watching TV or out to dinner and we'll see a baby/ toddler and just smile at each other. SO we decided to start TTC before our "official" date;) I'm not complaining!
OMG...I've got it so bad! At first we had talked about waiting a year after we got married, but I really want to start trying now. It doesn't help that my BIL and SIL had a baby a month after we got married. It also doesn't help that pretty much every single time I log on Facebook, there's someone else that's pregnant, posting belly pics, or status updates about being pregnant or their kids. But we are trying to wait until we find a house since we are currently living in a one bedroom apartment and have absolutely no space for a baby. And we didn't want to be house hunting and moving in the middle of the holidays so we're going to wait to January to start looking for a house and then TTC after that. I'm so scared that we'll run into problems and I won't get pregnant right away.
I get it about every other month too! I really want to, while at the same time I really don't want to yet. We're definitely a couple years from TTC, but I think about it a lot.
Ahhhh Babies! Get them away! Get them away! :-) (in all seriousness, though, we will be waiting about 3 years. We want to have some time to be newlyweds and travel before we add diaper duty!)
YES!! i have babyfever bad! we are TTC already.. My SIL just had a baby he is only 3 months old and she would be helping her 2 year old do whatever and i would just sit there and hold the baby.. and she was like "hurry up brother my sister in law wants a baby" LOL
I totally do not have baby fever....unfortunately the FH has it...I think he is more excited about having a kid before 30 while ignoring all the work that comes with a baby. I'm totally not into the idea.
@hilsy85 and roxy821--I'll totally join the support group!! :D
I am newly engaged (seriously just been engaged 3 weeks), and I already cry every time I see a baby commercial. We're not getting married until next September, and I definitely want to be married before we have kids and whatnot, but it's SOOO hard to wait!!
Before I met my FI I actually thought that I might not want kids at all, but now it's like somebody gave me a "super horny during ovulation" shot! lol!
And roxy, I know exactly what you mean about the income...we both have good jobs as well, and can live comfortably with just the two of us, but it would be quite a stretch to add another life to that, and I can't help but thinking it'll be FOREVER until we're able to afford three lives. And I don't think that's ganna change for the next couple years, which makes that wait even worse!
Needless to say--you're not alone! Hang in there, and hopefully the time will fly for all of us!
@newbiecici: Totally understand!! FI and I are in the middle of purchasing a house now, but we're not getting married until September and want to try and wait a couple years until we have our vehicles paid off and have "baby money," and even though I'm only 22, I have Endometriosis (my mom has it too and had lots of problems when trying to have me), and worry about not being able to conceive. I would totally start TTC now if FI would go along with it! lol! I mean, what if it takes 3 years?! Then the baby will be right on time! ;)
YES. I have major baby fever. I have only been married two months and it's insane. We'd always wanted to be married at least a year before we tried for kids. It's just hard because I'm 29 and I feel that almost-30 pressure building up. In my mind, I know it would be better if we waited a year to get settled, but my heart screams BABY BABY BABY
I had extreme baby fever!!! So did my husband...
we are expecting our first in April and were just married last June :) good luck to you all!
We aren't even officially married yet and I really want a child already! It is driving me nuts! Since I can't have one fore a few more years I keep wanting to put that love into a puppy... but he wont let me have one. Grr!
